324 Notes on Places Visited bi/ the Society in 1895. 



the arched rafters. As the rectory was on the north side the priest's 

 door is in this wall, and has over it externally a curious little 

 projecting hood. When the aisle was lengthened the original 

 three-light east window with reticulated tracery was re-constructed 

 in the present fifteenth century east wall, and the square-headed 

 three-light windows inserted in the north wall, and two in tlie south 

 wall of the nave ; the eastern one of the latter has a delicately- 

 executed niche in its east reveal. 



The chancel — re-built about the same time — has two two-light 

 traceried square-headed windows in the south wall, and retains 

 the original fifteenth century roof. Above the chancel arch is a 

 picturesque little sanctus bell-cot with panelled sides surmounted 

 by a short broach spirelet with foliated finial. 



The transept-like projection on the south side is curiously 

 arranged so as not to interrupt the roof of the nave internally, 

 which is carried on a heavy moulded beam supported on corbelled 

 heads of a king and queen. The pointed window in the south wall 

 is early Perpendicular in character, of three lights, and very 

 beautifully proportioned. The- panelled stone pulpit, with carved 

 cornice of rather rough workmanship, is entered by a twisted 

 staircase in the north-west angle of this projection. 



The north porch is very handsome. It is richly vaulted inside, 

 and externally is surmounted by a panelled and battlemented 

 parapet. On the cornice beneath are a number of grotesques, and 

 in the wall below are projecting gargoyles to carry off the roof 

 water, two at each side. A much- worn stoup for holy water is 

 against the inner doorway. The door itself is the original one, 

 and is formed of very heavy pieces of timber thickly studded with 

 nails, and still retains a large handle and escutcheon of the original 

 iron work. The south porch — now used as a vestry — has an open 

 timber roof of the fifteenth century, similar to the others in the 

 Church, but here all the rafters are uncovered by plaster or white- 

 wash, so that the full beauty of the design may be seen. 



The tower is the second we have seen to-day of this type, and is 

 by far the finest of the three we shall see. UnHke the others this 

 has angle bu.ttresse3 and western doorway. Over the latter is a
